.SH DESCRIPTION

.LP
FMRI stands for Fault Management Resource Identifier. It is used to identify
resources managed by the Fault Manager. See \fBfmd\fR(8) and \fBsmf\fR(7).
.sp
.LP
The \fBin.daytimed\fR service provides the server-side of the daytime protocol.
This protocol is used for debugging and bandwidth measurement and is available
on both TCP and UDP transports, through port 13.
.sp
.LP
The \fBin.daytimed\fR service is an \fBinetd\fR(8) \fBsmf\fR(7) delegated
service. The \fBin.daytimed\fR detects which transport is requested by
examining the socket it is passed by the \fBinetd\fR daemon.

\fBTCP-based service\fR
.ad
.RS 21n
Once a connection is established, the \fBin.daytimed\fR generates the current
date and time in \fBctime\fR(3C) format as 7-bit ASCII and sends it through the
connection. The server then closes the connection. Any data received from the
client side of the connection is discarded.

\fBUDP-based service\fR
.ad
.RS 21n
The \fBin.daytimed\fR listens for UDP datagrams. When a datagram is received,
the server generates the current date and time in \fBctime\fR(3C) format as
7-bit ASCII and inserts it in a UDP datagram sent in response to the client's
request. Any received data is ignored.
